The new Fiat Argo looked pretty sporty in the first
pictures we brought you just yesterday, released in HGT trim. But there's
always room for improvement.
Rendered by X-Tomi is a speculative projection on
what the new Latin American-market would look like in Abarth guise. And we have
to say that it looks pretty convincing, what with the upgraded alloys, red
trim, black hood, and Scorpion badges.
Now we have no details on such a model's prospects,
but we wouldn't rule it out of the question. The Punto which the Argo is
earmarked to replace (in some markets at least) was the only model aside from
the Fiat 500 and 124 Spider that Abarth has been tasked with working over since
the marque was reborn ten years ago.
If only for the South American market, an Abarth
Argo could make a suitable foil for the Renault Sandero RS. But if FCA were to
export it to other markets, it could shape up as a compelling low-cost
alternative to the likes of the Ford Fiesta ST and VW Polo GTI. But at this
point we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here.
